Welcome back to My 70’s TV Childhood, the podcast where we revisit the TV shows, memories, and moments that shaped childhoods in 1970s Britain. It’s hard to believe we’re already in our sixth season! The support and love from all of you listening, sharing your memories, and getting in touch means the world to me—thank you!

In today’s episode, we’re taking a nostalgic trip back to one of the ultimate Saturday night TV experiences—The Generation Game. I’ll be reflecting on the impact of this family-friendly game show that became an institution in British entertainment. With Bruce Forsyth as the iconic host, The Generation Game captivated families across the UK, bringing humor, warmth, and fun to our living rooms every week.

We'll talk about Bruce Forsyth’s legendary hosting style, his dynamic with Anthea Redfern, and the unforgettable moments, like the infamous "conveyor belt" round. Plus, we'll discuss how The Generation Game reflected the spirit of 1970s Britain and set the stage for future game shows.

So, whether you remember The Generation Game with Bruce or Larry Grayson, this episode is sure to bring back those cherished memories of gathering around the TV as a family.

Get in touch! I’d love to hear from you! Were you a Bruce Forsyth fan, or did you prefer Larry Grayson’s take on the show?

Thanks for tuning in, and I look forward to having you join us again next week for our next 70’s TV trivia quiz and a fortnight from now for another regular episode of My 70’s TV Childhood.

Take care

Oliver
